I have a html web form on a website that I’m posting to Zapier with a webhook.

I basically want a user to submit the form and the attachment post to zapier and then have the attached file saved into google drive.

Is there a way for me to handle an attachment through a zapier webhook?

@deanj - Try to send the file in a multipart/form-data POST request to the webhook URL and see if the file appears.

If the file is a link then encode the file link, like this example:

https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/XXX/XXX/?file=https%3A%2F%2Fuploads-us-west-2.insided.com%2Fzapier-ca%2Fattachment%2F522e6487-d7ab-4d46-b321-097953e9179c_thumb.png

This is a GET request using query string parameters.

Notice the ?file= after the webhook, then the encoded url of the file link

Comes thru to the Zap trigger as:

Hi @deanj!

Since this was a little while ago, I wanted to check in to see if you’d managed to solve this or whether you still needed help here. I do see some comments on my end that users have had success using what @ikbelkirasan suggested (multipart/form-data POST request), specifically in adding it to Google Drive as well.
